So, you need the nerdy side of me. I love a challenge. I’ve got an extensive background in the tech sector, from “Thank you for calling support” to TPM, EM, and Director level work. Here are some examples:
FinOps 5 years: Managing a $5B capacity budget for Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp/Messenger. Keeping GPUs focused on priority workloads. Saving tens of millions through directed efficiency efforts. Driving AWS TAMs and internal engineers to improve tagging coverage. Launching unit economics despite internal friction. I’m a Certified FinOps Professional and I spoke at FinOpsX 2025.
Technical Program Management 10 years: Managing large-to-huge XFN programs that change how the company works, largely in FinOps, infrastructure, and security. Creating change and managing risk? On it.
Engineering Management and Engineering 13 years: Everything from automating tests to writing low-level Java on Android, and managing the teams that do this work. My background is primarily back end.
Consulting: I’ve been at a client site on my first day of work, asking and answering questions about what we can and cannot build for them.
Customer Support and IT Support 7 years: I started my career picking up a phone, and I also helped Facebook migrate the entire company onto a new domain name, “@fb.com”. That playbook was reused in 2023 to migrate to “@meta.com”, by an old mentee.
